VT_RECORD problem: VC++6 ActiveX and VB .Net interaction

Moi
Hello,
sorry if this has been asked over & over, in which case, please someone
points me
to the answer :)

My situation:

I've an ActiveX witten in VC++6, it has several methods returning a
VT_RECORD struct in Variant,
as well as arrays of struct.

It's working ok with VB6 but unfortunately, VB .Net chokes when invoking
such function
(no interop for VT_RECORD).

It seems that the way to go is by implemeting custom marshalling, but how ?
I'd prefer my VC6 ActiveX wouldn't become dependent on .Net if possible...
Never marshalled before, so I'm afraid I'll need explicit directions ;-)

Thanks & best regards,
Laurent

I have a problem that I am trying to solve. We have a huge product with a whole lot of ASP and VB code.

I'm currently charged with the task of writing a customized business application. This app will perform order entry, invoicing, accounting, etc. type tasks. Can anyone justify a decision to write this app in VC++.net as opposed to writing it in VB.net? Assumptions: everyone in department knows both languages. we have access to all needed resources.

I also have signed the CAB file. In IE, the option 'Script ActiveX controls marked Safe for Scripting' is already set to...

As using flash, one can create wonderful UI. But in return I also want it to interact fully with C# components.
